The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 22nd - 28th May 2023

Weekly Eye-Catchers – 22nd – 28th May 2023

 

22nd May – 7:55 Roscommon 

 

Believe Me Now

 

Nicely buried on handicap debut by trainer/jockey Andrew Slattery. Slightly convenient after a nice drift from 20s to 75 on the machine pre off, slowly away, travelled well in rear, picked up well when asked but jockey has gone for an invisible gap on the rail completely stopping the horse, was switched across the track afterwards but never nearer. Look to back in handicaps over 10-12f. Will get a nice price.

 

22nd May – 8:35 Windsor 

 

Broad Appeal

 

Nice run here from the old boy. Travelled well into the race under inexperienced 7lb claimer, made nice headway ran on into a good 5th. 16lb below last winning mark, will be keen to keep onside at Windsor with an experienced jockey booked. Low grade winner in waiting.

 

24th May – 3:40 Yarmouth 

 

Mantra 

 

Biggest Eye-Catcher of the week. First day at School, Slowly away gave away at-least 5l, green in rear, niggled made nice headway ran on under educational ride for a strong 4th. Will win next time out over 5f or 6f. looks a smart type what I'm excited to follow.

 

25th May – 8:12 Sandown 

 

Yaanaas 

 

Ran well in circumstances, travelled well on rail, no clear run jockey had to sit and wait for too long, found gaps late but race was already lost. Ran on under tender riding. Look to play in 1m handicaps on quick ground.

 

26th May – 3:50 Haydock 

 

Queens Reign 

 

Nicely bred type, green early needed bumping to educate round bend. Travelled nicely through horses under hand riding. Lovely education for a 2yo Filly. Picked up nicely through horses running on into 3rd. Look to back next time in a maiden over 7f. Nice type

 

26th May – 8:30 Curragh 

 

Old Peculiar

 

2nd time Hes made the Eyecatchers column. Float up at the Curragh today, travelled smoothly but was allowed to drop back through progressing horses, pushed along but never asked to go fully, tenderly handled. Follow with interest throughout the season because he is still very well handicapped. May be wise to follow the money…..

 

27th May – 4:15 Curragh 

 

Canute

 

Over raced early but settled into the race well, travelled strongly when no clear run, jockey had to sit and wait for gap, 1st and 2nd came over the top while CANUTE was just starting his run, ran on strongly into 4th. Should be going close if not winning over 8f+.

The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd - 29th September 2024

Weekly Eyecatchers 23 rd  – 29 th  September 2024   23 rd  September – 7:30 Wolverhampton    Breccia   Come from miles back here off a muddling pace, was stuck behind a horse who was getting eased off at a crucial stage, should have won imo and should be kept on side over staying trips   25 th  September – 6:00 Kempton    Nuptown Girl    Missed break and was slow into stride, green in rear and was always niggled slightly, race had already developed infront of her but she did run on well under tender handling. Will know much more next time out and could improve further for 7f+   27 th  September  - 8:00 Wolverhampton    Bay Of Naples    Hasn’t won for a while but his run here showed enough to me that he could be winning very soon. Raced pretty fresh here after 1 month off the track, raced handy and just got abit tired late on, will come on bundles for this. 17th October at Southwell f...

The Neighsayers - Friday 13th September

  No blog yesterday for the first day of the Leger meeting, mainly due to uncertainty around the ground we were getting. We’re back for day 2 though. 15:00 Doncaster - Big Mojo A lot to like about this horses chance today, starting with the drop back to minimum trip, showed his usual pace at York but failed to stay. Looks to be plenty of pace on in here too with Aesterius drawn on his side and then King’s Call, Zayer and Tropical Storm over the other side. If he sit’s just off these and strikes late he should emulate last year’s success for connections with Big Evs. A somewhat shock winner at Goodwood but should that was no fluke when running a good race at York when not staying as I’ve mentioned.  Selection - Big Mojo 5/2 General - 1pt win 16:10 Doncaster - Beatrice Shilling This favourite, Cabrera has to be taken on for me. So will be going in with Beatrice Shilling here. Without getting all cliche, she was doing her best work late at Salisbury and prove she stayed the trip,...

The Neighsayers - Thursday 5th September

 Nice to get on the board for September yesterday with Snow Berry winning at 15/2 (or 9/1 if you had the luxury), but with the 2pt bet going down it wasn't as good as we'd hoped for, but profit on the day nevertheless. 17:35 Lingfield - Ormolulu Think this is well worth an each way bet now seeing 7 furlongs for the first time and returning to the all-weather. Dropped down in the handicap considerably this year, beginning on 79 and comes here off 70 with the jockey claiming 3. This is the lowest grade of race she's ever contested too, being a 51-70 and now in a fillies only race that can only be a positive too. The favourite takes up a lot of the market here and he's not guaranteed to get his own way in front this time, with Twilight Dancer and Beveragino in the race and I think he's well worth taking on. She was keen in her 3 year old campaign but the hood seemed to have worked the oracle there and hopefully can continue to do so with the slower tempo of a 6 furlong...
